Thumbs down printer will not print

After the kernel updated to version; 2.6.25.18-0.2 and I edited my grub boot file, and the printer driver shows as; Local Raw Printer, it fails to print. With SUSE 11.0, KDE 3.5.9, on a 2006 Gateway AMD Athlon desktop computer, using a Canon PIXMA MP500 multi-function inkjet printer connected USB, when I attempt to print a page, it shows as if it is functioning fine, but nothing happens, and no error messages.

You can usually diagnose cups problems by setting the LogLevel debug directive in cupsd.conf. After restarting cups, tail the the /var/log/cups/error_log and try printing again.

Thumbs up solved
I did get the Canon multifunction printer to work by using the CUPS utility, re-selecting the correct driver, authenicated as root, and saved. This may have been caused from the recent kernel update to SUSE 11, and thanks for the help.
